Well, matt, if you wuz a rasslin’ fan, you’d recognize a tag team when you saw one.
You’re up, Bossk.

Sorry, baby. My leotards are in the wash.
Although, even _I’m_ beginning to believe that DMC is my sock puppet.

Pardon me for posting out of turn, but…
It actually was an interesting comparison. I mean, somehow **Weirddave** decided it’s my fault that he lost control of his emotions and said something he _normally wouldn’t say_. Isn’t that a lot like what an abusive person often says to their victim(s)?
Abusive Spouse: “If you’d clean the house once in a while I wouldn’t get so mad looking at it and need to smack you.”
Abusive Parent: “If you didn’t misbehave **all** the time, I wouldn’t have to hit you.”
Rapist: “If you didn’t wear such sexy clothes and dance so close to me, I wouldn’t have thought you wanted to have sex with me.”
Yes, those are exaggerations, but you get my point.
And Matt… you were paying enough attention to jump in with your shot at **Bossk** , so I just figured you might want to actually know what the fuck you’re talking about.
My mistake.

Damn. He got in there before me.
Bleh on you and the sock puppet. I’m simply stating my opinions.

Oh, hell, **Devil May Care** , I know you’re not his sock puppet, but it’s obvious you have a hard-on for **Bossk.**
Oops, you’re a lady. Make that a wide-on.
Say, how about them Leafs? 🙂

Yep. That’s it.
Every time I post in agreement with another person, it means I’m dripping wet for them.
How could I have been sooooo transparent?!?!
Gimme a break.

Can I just ask how many of you all are planning on signing up if SDMB does go to a pay site? Caveat Emptor and all that.

DMC, I’d be glad to cut you a break if you’d agree with me once in a while, but it’s always Bossk, Bossk, Bossk.
What am I, a rutabaga?
Don’t answer that.

Awww, are you feeling left out? I’ll try to spread my supportive opinions more evenly, lol.
So in all fairness, yes, the comparison of **Weirddave** to a wifebeater was exaggerative. Just like the examples I gave in my post after it.
And FTR, I _did_ have an interest in that portion of this thread, since it was me who the original comment was directed at. It was not me just being a “sock puppet”. I’m posting replies to posts that had to do with me. Plain and simple.
Nah **Slip** , you’re no rutabaga, you’re more like carrots, one of the few veggies I like. [sub]There’s a “nicey-nice” in there somewhere.[/sub]

Oh, who are the posters on your message board,
On your message board, on your message board.
Say, who are the posters on your message board –
The posters that you read each day?
Oh, **Esprix** can pen a nifty rant
But he’s hounded by folks who can’t
He doesn’t suffer trolls or socks
And, evidently, he rocks
'Cause Esprix is a poster on your message board,
On your message board, on your message board.
Esprix is a poster on your message board –
A poster that you read each day.
Oh, **Bossk** has an axe to grind
So he spews at any chance he finds
I guess that’s what the Pit is for
Too bad his posts are such a bore
'Cause Bossk is a poster on your message board,
On your message board, on your message board.
Bossk is a poster on your message board –
A poster that you read each day.
Oh, **UncleBeer** is one of the mods
And he thinks this thread is rather odd
His question makes a valid point:
Why let twerps get your nose out of joint?
Oh the Pit is a forum on your message board,
On your message board, on your message board.
The Pit is a forum on your message board –
It’s the forum you can’t beat
You can flame or grab a seat
It’s the forum that you read each day!

Very nice. Hehehehe, I’m just enjoying watching two posters (Bossk and Devil May Care) come in here with an agenda of backing each other up and getting offended when the rest of us tumble to their act. You GO girls! _snap_

Dave, you’re a swine.
I know, because you admit to being a weak pig, yet offer no apology.
Whereas, I know I’m a pig, but I don’t admit it. And thus, offer no apology.
Now who’s the _real_ monster here, Dave?
And I’m returning the wind-up clock you’ve sent me.
That “Cuckold!..cuckold!..cuckold!” automated hourly chime you’ve developed really doesn’t suit me. Refund, please.
Hmm. Well, I guess there’s nothing less for you to do but accuse me of child rape, Dave.
So, I just want to say, _When you talk about me…and I know you will…please, be kind._

Huh?
I was going to say something else, then I realized how confused I was, so I’ll say it again:
